What does a leveling valve do?
The EGP Leveling Valve is a modulating valve for precision suspension adjustment. Its unique modulating valve design reacts faster to load changes and adjusts ride height accordingly, without over-or-under adjusting.
How does a leveling valve on a semi work?
This valve is typically mounted to the vehicle frame and connects to the suspension lower member with a signal link. As the suspension raises and lowers, the valve ‘reads’ the height of the suspension and adds air to or removes air from the air springs.
How does a cab leveling valve work?
When the Suspension Load Is Decreased: The control lever shifts in the opposite direction and allows air to exhaust from the air bags through the valve to the exhaust port. Volume in the air bags decreases and lowers the chassis or cab height. When the operating valve reaches the neutral position, the valve closes.
How does ride height sensor work?
The ride height sensor sends signals to the ECU, which causes the suspension to react while driving over bumps or due to heavy loads on the vehicle to provide a smoother ride. It is usually fitted to the frame of the automobile or to components of the suspension system.
What is the ride height for a Kenworth 8 bag?
8.5 inch
The AG380 only weighs about 750 pounds fully installed, or 200 to 400 pounds less than traditional Class 8 suspension systems – contributing to extra payload potential each and every truck load. Adding to its productivity, the AG380 comes with a low 8.5 inch ride height, ideal for high-cube payload operations.
What is the purpose of a height sensor?
Vehicle height sensors measure the load weight on air suspension system and convert it into output voltage to control air suspension pressure as well as high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamp axis.

What should be in a ProStar dump valve pack?
In this pack should also be the air solenoid for the air horn and PDL. If the air horn works/PDL works then you know at least the ground is ok for the pack. Since there are some other issues too you may have a problem with a main firewall connector, or a main connector at the body controller itself.
Are there issues with the levelling valve arm?
Some trucks have known issues with the leveling valve arm. EWV Thanks this. I had one done once, if would not release any air, only add air, so after a while the suspension got a lot higher. I found that they put two of the lines in backwards, reversed the lines and it worked good after that.
How to know if air suspension bags are inflating?
New drivers start at 26% of load gross. Be patient, run hard , work hard, and you will make good money. Be lazy, and you won’t. First visually check the linkage on the leveling valve to make sure it’s connected and not bent/broken and listen for air leaks. Then make sure you have air pressure to the leveling valve.
